9/14/19 Amphitheater, Surprise, and Delra Lakes Trail. 12.6 miles. 3650' elevation climbed.

Yesterday was a great day outside! It didn't start well...I struggled to movitate myself to get out of bed and then forgot my wallet with my NP pass in the trailer after driving 20 min 🙄. I got to the trailhead and started around 8am. I physically felt great! My pace was fast for the incline I was climbing and my breathing wasnt awful ha! About 1.5 miles from the top I ran into a man from Prague who had just seen a bear. I ended up hiking the rest of the trail with him and we saw the bear on the way dawn to Delta Lake!!! I was so excited but kept my composure since I usually almost cry every time 😂.
*
Delta Lake was 0.5 miles off the main trail so I figured it would be too bad...lies! It was straight up a rock scramble and dirt. Not lying, I was so tired and didn't want to finish but holy hell, look at that water!!!! It was so worth it!!

My phone decided to delete a whole mess of pics from the hike...the rest of the bear pics and thd other two lakes 😥 What can ya do? Headed out to see more!!

When I first started riding around the world, I was on a solo mission. Nobody could be part of the journey I was on. Not even family. Not even friends.⠀
⠀
They were hurt by this. And, by the way that I would leave them behind for long periods of time without communication.⠀
⠀
But, I wanted to sleep under the stars in the desert, alone, and know that everything I needed in life was with me. I wanted to look in a puddle after a week and see my reflection, and realize I’d forgotten to care. I wanted to meet new faces and tell my story, without anyone knowing what that story was.⠀
⠀
I wanted to see myself and the world through my eyes only - and then rewrite my life according to what I thought it should be. ⠀
⠀
And I changed. I became kinder. Stronger. Easy-going. Happy. Perceptive. Confident. ⠀
⠀
Then, I started treating my family and friends better. At the time, they couldn’t see it. But what I was doing, was also for them.⠀
⠀
Eventually, the more I became what I was supposed to be, the less I needed to prove. To myself and to others.⠀
⠀
Which meant that one day, I woke up and realized that life was now better with others.⠀
⠀
And I’ve never looked back.⠀
⠀
If you’ve never invested the time to find who you are, if your family is so close, your life so habitual, your culture or religion so rigid, that you’ve forgotten or never known, get out there and figure it out. Carve out your space. Go and remember what makes you, you. ⠀
⠀
It’s. Not. Selfish.⠀
⠀
We all have our journey, it doesn’t matter which way you take it. The important thing though, is to take it ❤️
